How Can We Help?
Are Assistance Dogs Allowed in the Gift Shop at Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne?
Yes, assistance dogs are fully welcome inside Bayou Boutique, the gift shop at Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne. Disney recognises all types of legitimate assistance dogs, including guide dogs, hearing dogs, and service animals trained to support guests with physical, neurological, or sensory disabilities.
Guests are not required to present formal documentation, but a visible harness, jacket, or identification can help staff quickly recognise the dog’s role.
Accessibility for Assistance Dog Users
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| Assistance dogs permitted | Yes – throughout the entire shop area |
| Aisle space for maneuvering with dog | Yes – generally wide and navigable, especially off-peak |
| Water bowls available on request | Yes – ask any Cast Member for assistance |
| Calm environment for dogs | Yes – shop is quiet, low lighting, and low foot traffic |
| Dog relief areas nearby | Yes – green spaces located just outside the reception |
Staff are trained to interact respectfully with assistance dogs and will avoid unnecessary contact unless permission is given. If you need help carrying items or keeping hands free to manage your dog, Cast Members can assist with shopping bags or holding items at the checkout.
Tips for Guests with Assistance Dogs
- Visit during quieter times to give your dog more room to navigate comfortably
- Inform staff if you’d prefer a quicker checkout or need help accessing certain products
- Let the front desk know if your dog has specific needs (e.g. water, cool floor space)
